Contract between design … Verification v/s Testing
Hence: Definitions
“Test” must be comprehensive Design synthesis:
It must not be “too long”
Given an I/O function, develop a procedure to manufacture a
device using known materials and processes.
Issues:
Verification:
Model possible defects in the process
Understand the process Predictive analysis to ensure that the synthesized design,
Develop simulator and fault simulator when manufactured, will perform the given I/O function.
Develop test generator Test:
Methods to quantify the test efficiency A manufacturing step that ensures that the physical device,
Fault coverage manufactured from the synthesized design, has no
manufacturing defect.
